A photograph of a metal casting workshop at an outdoor earthen site. A crucible glowing red-orange with molten metal sits on a clay and brick furnace, gripped by long tongs. Several workers stand around it, including a man in a blue-and-white checked lungi, and others hold open burlap sacks that frame the scene. Dirt ground, scattered charcoal and a metal rod support structure surround the furnace. Bare-footed workers and loose plaid cloth dominate the background. Visible people are workers only; no ceremony or a person candidate is present.
